DISSOLUTION OF GEO. w. RYLAND &
Co.'s will be seen by notice pub
lished elsewhere in this paper, the well
known firm of Geo. w. Ryland & Co.
will, at the close of the present month,
be dissolved by mutual consent. For a
long while Mr.. Ryland has been think
ing of retiring from active business,
and it has been understood that when
that time arrived his interest would be
purchased by his present partners.
Richard Meyer, Sr. and Richard Meyer,
Jr. Mr.. Ryland has been engaged in
business in Lancaster thirty-four years.
Since 1860 he has done banking bust
ness. In 1880 the present firm was
formed, and their business methods and
attention to have won them an
enviable reputation. Their credit is the
best, and they enjoy the utmost conf
dence of all who have dealings with
them. Mr.. Ryland retires with a
competence, for the purpose of enjoy
ing a well earned rest after so many
years of active business life. His retire.
ment will not change the business of the
bank in the least. The same amount of
capital will be employed, and the same
methods will continue. In fact it is
but justice to say that the present
enviable standing of the firm is due as
much to the experience and thorough
business training of the senior and to
the exceptional business ability of the
junior Meyer as to the name of Geo.
w. Ryland, which is one to lend con-
tidence to any business enterprise.
Richard Meyer & Co. will be the same
to the public that Geo. w. Ryland &
Co. has been. Fred 2. Meyer. who
graduates in June from the State Univer-
sity, will enter the bank as clerk.

McCord's Horses.

In this number of the HERALD Mr.. w.
L. McCord calls the attention of the
public by an advertisement, to the
blooded horses that he brought here for
the purpose of improving the breed of
work and general-purpose horses in
Grant county. Mr.. McCord' likes a
good horse as well as the next man and
knows good one when he sees him.
He rightly places high value on size,
especially large bones, for horses to sell
to city buyers or for use on Grant
county farms. Fs
His Percheron is probably the best
bred animal of his kind everbrought into
the county, and those who are good
judges say that he shows his breeding.
If any consider the Percheron too
heavy for general use, the French Coach
cannot fail to please them, for he certain
ly is dandy. He is as handy with his
feet as thoroughbred, while he has the
strength of draft horse. s -
These horses will bear inspection.
They will be found at the Wright House
barn Mondays, Wednesdays and Satur-
days, and the rest of tina week at w. l..
McCord's place mile and half east
of town. ;.s

Bagley.

Wyalusing people seem to be very
jubilant over the recent election, and
now they appear to desire all the. honor
and respect conferred upon themselves
for causing the Illustration of the license

solicitous for that promised '.Hell over

you call it over the line, and it will
not be necessary to pile up some logs
either, we shall merely put the saloon

plentiful in Bagley) to keep it out OF
, reach of high water, and then some
day when you come to our town you
can boose up on some OF our .'bug
juice get some paint-war, paint OF
course, dig up the hatchet which the
red skin buried here long ago and go
on the war path and fight-dead Indi-
ans. Not SO very long ago Wyalusing
held an indignation meeting because
the C.. B. s. N. railroad would not
recognize them enough TO put side
tracks there and build them a depot
and after much argument pro. and con
they finally came to the happy conelu-
sion of running free ferry between
Wyalusing andMcG regor and succeeded
in making arrangements with the cit
liens of McGregor to have grand ex-
cursion Saturday April 2Sd which also
took place on the same day and date
but which proved TO be about as much
of success as the Wyalusing depot,
and now the ''free ferry" is run
between those two towns once a week
and If a person wants to ride on it be
will find how free it's.

"SMALL POTATOES IN Politics" is the SUBJ
ject of a discourse by the Cumberland Times
suggested probably by the short crop of the
Irish variety The political crop may be
"small," but they are by no means 'few in
the hill" They are the coy patriots who are
consumed by an inward hankering for Office,
but who havn't the manliness to say so.
They want it to appear that they are willing
to serve their country not so much from
choice as from proper Difference to the wishes
of "many friends" 1t is this sort of beating
about the bush that moves brother Avirett
to say:
In olden days political aspirations were &C.
counted alike honorable to the individual
and useful to the State. Why, then, do men
nowadays announce their intention of ap-
pearing before their fellow citizens with q
degree of shamefacedness sufficient to create
the impression that they have stolen sheep
and are making away with the hoofs and
tallow?
We reluctantly confess that we will have
have to give is up Mayhap the puzzle editor
of the FRosTBURG MINING JOURNAL will con-
sent to throw some light on the subject
Meyersdale Commercial.
do not know why appeal should
be made to the JOURNAL.
When it announced in terms un-
mistakable that its editor was not a
candidate for any office, the Times
gave vent to the sarcasm that "per-
haps discretion is the better part of
valor."
If this had any effect at all it dis
discouraged the patriots, and made
them coy and "shame. faced" under
the soft impeachment.
We submit, therefore, that it is
hardly fair now for the Times to re-
buke popular infirmity of its own
making. 1t its aspiring readers are
extra modest, it has done that which
would ordinarily make their manners
appear diffident.
Concerning the illustration-it is
impossible to imagine a sheep. steal.
ing case of that nature. No thief
with reputation to sustain and a
living to make, after stealing sheep,
would be content "wlth the hoofs and
tallow." Anything less than the
entire carcass would make HIM feel
that he had started a useless civil war
between an unnecessary hiatus in his
conscience and a needless vacuum in
his stomach.

SIXTEENTH YEAR.-No. SO.

In a notice of the opening this
year of the Allegany county Acad-
emy the Cumberland Neacs and
Times say:
The Academy makes bold and wise de-
rarture in engaging Professor Stun-Kard.
This gentleman, a graduate of the National
School of Oratory in Philadelphia, will give
his entire time to spelling, reading. pro-
nunciation and penmanship. Reader, think
how greatly these substantial essentials are
generally neglected or distributed as second
ary work among several teachers, and you
will appreciate the above statement.
That is an immense admission-"a
bold and wise departure" from what
and to what?
Evidently from the new-fangled
plan of teaching without textbooks,
and from the modern apology for
abominable penmanship-that it is a
purely mechanical exercise--to those
generally neglected" primary, every
day essentia!s-"spelling, reading,
pronunciation and penmanship."
In other words, the Academy pro-
poses to apply the "entire time" of
one of its faculty to the development
of those studies which constitute the
sure foundation of all other acquire
ments.
Hence, it will more than take the
place of the scheme designed by law
to be filled by the public school sys-
tenn, which is to fully provide all
children with the bases for business
or professional life.
That is-that the heirs of the poor
man might obtain a good English
education, and the children of the
rich the foundation for the super.
structure which private wealth might
be able to rear upon it.
Under one humbug and another,
under intrigue, and under an elee.
mosynary notion that the system was
projected for the benefit of the tax
eaters and not the taxpayers, the pur-
pose of the system has almost wholly
miscarried.
We have had this and that short
cut in study, this and that pressure
for place-hunting teacher, and this
and that charity for a teacher that
never earned a certificate have
had all these to an extent so great
that public attention is never drawn
to the fact that the true benefciaries,
the taxpayers aid their children, have
any rights or interest in the business
at all.
In short, as conducted IN this
county, the public school system is
an annual failure to almost the ex-
tent Of the fifty or sixty thousand
dollars which it costs.

To the MINING JOURNAL.

To the MINING JOURNAL.
1t is recognized principle of law, as
it should be of ethics, that no one in a
community should by use or even user
of his property work detriment to his
or their neighbours. And if any do, it
becomes nuisance to be abated by
the hand of the law.
The case in immediate point is this
that a lot in the heart of the town
shall not be used by anyone to prop
agate the growth of the rankest weeds
thereupon, and to disseminate seeds
therefrom to adjoining streets and
neighboring lots and gardens.
The correction of this and similar
nuisances would seem to call for the
exercise Of corporate authority. X.
